What is Friends of Burley? FOB raises funds and works together with the school administration to make sure Burley has what it needs to provide our children with the tools necessary to implement Burley's award winning and unique curriculum.
In addition to ensuring music and multicultural learning is taught to every child at Burley, FOB supports staff positions, art and STEAM materials, and the libraries in every classroom. The CPS budget covers a portion of Burley expenses and FOB closes the gap to cover the rest of Burley’s essential staffing, music, and technology expenses.
Who is Friends of Burley? YOU! A generous community of parents, grandparents, family members, volunteers, and neighborhood businesses all come together to support Friends of Burley. This year, the Burley community really Raised it Up! Thank you for being part of the Burley community and including Friends of Burley in your charitable giving.
Your donation provides more than music—it gives Burley kids exposure to creativity, confidence, teamwork, exploration of talent, skill and imagination.
Thank you for being their biggest fans.

Burley is a school where teaching and learning are energizing, collaborative, interactive and joyful. Burley is Chicago’s first Literature, Writing and Technology Magnet Cluster School. Burley’s award winning and unique curriculum is specifically designed to educate the whole child. Through programming including art, technology, STEAM and Merit Music, Burley provides our children with an exceptional CPS education.
This breadth and level of programming would not be possible without the additional funds raised each year by Friends of Burley and the Annual Fund. If you have made a donation to the Annual Fund, THANK YOU!! Your dollars make a real impact for every student every day. Your donation could make an even bigger impact if your employer has a matching gift program. If you have yet to make your donation, it will take ALL OF US to reach the year-end goal and ensure we can continue to provide the quality Burley education we have come to expect for our children. The Annual Fund suggested donation is $750 (or a recurring donation of $63 a month) per student but donations at any level do real things for the students of Burley every day.
